Lev 5 - 7
LEVITICUS 5
The Guilt Offering
1 (Lev 5:17; Pr 29:24; Lev 7:18 )When a person sins in hearing the spoken
oath, and he is a witness, whether he saw or knew about the incident,
if he does not report it, he bears guilt.
2 (Lev 5:17; Dt 14:8) Or when a person touches any ceremonially unclean
thing, whether it is a carcass of unclean wildlife, or a carcass of
an unclean domesticated animal, or the carcass of an unclean crawling thing,
and he did not realize it, then he has become unclean and guilty.
3 (Lev 12:1–8; 15:1–33) Or when he touches human uncleanness,
any uncleanness by which he may become ceremonially unclean,
and he did not realize it, when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty.
4 (Jdg 11:31; 1Sa 25:22) Or when a person swears by speaking rashly
with his lips to do evil or to do good, anything that a man may speak
rashly by oath, and he did not realize it, but when he realizes it,
then he has become guilty of any of these things.
5 (Nu 5:7; Lev 16:21; 26:40) When he becomes guilty of one of these things,
he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing.
6 (Lev 4:28; 4:32) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord
for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or goat,
for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement
for him concerning his sin.
7 (Lev 12:8; 14:21-22) If he cannot afford an animal, then he shall
bring for his guilt offering, on account of the sin that he committed,
two turtledoves or two pigeons to the Lord, one for a sin offering
and one for a burnt offering.
8 (Lev 1:15; 1:17) He shall bring them to the priest who shall offer
the one for the sin offering first. He will wring off its head at
its neck, but he shall not sever it.
9 (Lev 4:7; 4:18) Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin
offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be
poured out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.
10 (Lev 1:14–17; 4:26; 4:20) But the second he shall treat as a burnt
offering according to the regulation. The priest shall make atonement
for him for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.
11 (Nu 5:15; Lev 2:1–2) But if he cannot afford to bring two turtledoves
or two pigeons, he shall bring for his offering for the sin that
he committed one-tenth of an ephah
(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)
of wheat flour for a sin offering. He shall not place olive oil on it,
nor shall he put frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.
12 (Lev 2:9; 2:2) Then he shall bring it to the priest,
and the priest shall scoop out a handful from it as a memorial portion
and burn it on the altar as a food offering to the Lord made by fire.
It is a sin offering.
13 (Lev 2:3; 4:26) The priest shall make atonement for him concerning
his sin that he committed from any of these offenses, and he shall be
forgiven. The remainder will belong to the priest, like the grain offering.
Offerings With Restitution
14 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
15 (Ex 30:13; Lev 4:2) When a person acts unfaithfully and sins
unintentionally in regard to the holy things of the Lord,
then for his restitution offering to the Lord he shall bring a ram
without blemish from the flock—or its equivalent, in your estimation,
in silver shekels (using the sanctuary shekel
(About 2/5 ounce, or 12 grams.))
-for a guilt offering.
16 (Lev 22:14; Nu 5:7) And he shall repay the sin that he committed
with regard to the holy thing and shall add a fifth to it and give
it to the priest. The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram
of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.
17 (Lev 4:13; 4:27) If a person sins unintentionally
and does any one of the things that by commandments
of the Lord should not be done and he is found guilty,
he shall bear his iniquity.
18 (Lev 5:15-16) He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish
from the flock—or its equivalent value
(This is a shorthand version of the full formula found in Lev 5:15.)
-for a guilt offering. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning
his error that he made unintentionally, and he shall be forgiven.
19 It is a guilt offering: He has indeed incurred guilt before the Lord.
LEVITICUS 6
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 (Ex 22:7–10; Lev 19:11) When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against
the Lord by lying to another concerning something left in storage,
or entrusted to him, or theft, or by extorting his neighbor,
3 (Ex 23:4; Lev 19:12) or by finding a lost item and lying about it,
and he swears falsely concerning one of all the things that a man
may do to sin in these things,
4 when he sins and he is found guilty, he shall return whatever he stole,
or whatever he extorted, or whatever was left in storage with him,
or the lost item which he found,
5 (Lev 5:16; Nu 5:7-8) or about which he swore falsely, then he shall
repay it in full and shall add one-fifth to it. He shall give it to
whom it belongs on the day that he is found guilty.
6 (Lev 5:15; 5:18) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord,
a ram without blemish from the flock -
(or its equivalent value (Shorthand version of the
full formula found in Lev 5:15.))
—for a guilt offering to the priest.
7 (Lev 4:26) And the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and
he shall be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.
The Law of the Burnt Offering

9 (Nu 28:3; Ex 29:38-42) Command Aaron and his sons, saying:
This is the law for the burnt offering.

until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.
10 (Ex 28:39-43; Lev 16:4) The priest shall put on his linen robe,
and his linen undergarments on his body.
Then he shall remove the ashes from the fire
of the burnt offering on the altar,
and he shall put them beside the altar.

and put on other garments, and he shall bring the ashes outside
the camp to a clean place.
12 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. It shall not go out.
The priest shall feed it with wood every morning. He will arrange
the burnt offering on it, and he shall burn the fat of
the peace offerings on it.
13 A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar.
It shall never go out.
The Law of the Grain Offering
14 (Nu 15:4) This is the law of the grain offering. The sons of Aaron
shall offer it before the Lord on the altar.
15 (Lev 2:2; 2:9) He shall take from it a handful of the flour

eat of it. It shall be a perpetual statute in your generations concerning
the food offerings of the Lord made by fire.
Everyone who touches them shall become holy.
19 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
20 (Ex 16:36; 29:2) This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons which
they shall offer to the Lord in the day when he is anointed:
a tenth part of an ephah
(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)
of wheat flour for a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning
and half at night.
21 (Lev 2:5; 7:9) It shall be made on a griddle with olive oil.
When it is well mixed, you shall bring it; and the baked pieces
of the grain offering you shall offer as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

him shall offer it. It is a perpetual statute to the Lord.
It shall be completely burned up.

It shall not be eaten.
The Law of the Sin Offering
24 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
25 (Lev 4:24; 1:11; 1:3) Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying:
This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt
offering is killed shall the sin offering also be killed
before the Lord. It is most holy.

It is most holy.

12 (Lev 2:4; Nu 6:15) If he gives it as a thanksgiving offering,

for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered;
he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
16 (Lev 19:5–8; Dt 12:6) But if the sacrifice of his offering
is a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day
that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day
also the remainder of it can be eaten.
17 (Ex 12:10) But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice
on the third day shall be burned up with fire.
18 (Lev 19:7–8; 11:41) If any of the flesh of the sacrifice
of his peace offerings is eaten at all on the third day,
the one eating shall not be accepted,
nor shall it be imputed to him who offers it.
It shall be contaminated,
and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.
19 The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten.
It shall be burned up with fire. And as for the other flesh,
all who are ritually clean can eat of it.

that belong to the Lord, and who has any uncleanness on him,
that individual shall be cut off from his people.
21 (Lev 5:2–3; 11:10–13) Moreover the person who shall touch any unclean
thing, whether the uncleanness of man or any unclean beast or any
detestable unclean creature, and then eats of the flesh
of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lord,
that individual shall be cut off from his people.
Eating Fat and Blood Forbidden
22 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23 (Lev 3:16–17) Speak to the children of Israel, saying:
You shall not eat any fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.
24 (Ex 22:31; Lev 17:15) The fat of an animal that dies
of itself and the fat of that which is torn by beasts
may be used in any other way, but you shall certainly not eat of it.
25 For whoever eats the fat of an animal that is a food offering made
by fire to the Lord, that individual shall be cut off from his people.
26 (Ge 9:4; Lev 3:17) Moreover you shall not eat any manner of blood,
whether from a fowl or animal, in any of your dwellings.
27 Whoever eats any manner of blood, that individual
shall be cut off from his people.
The Priests' Share
28 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
29 Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He who offers the sacrifice
of his peace offerings to the Lord shall bring his sacrifice to the Lord
from his peace offerings.
30 (Nu 6:20; Lev 3:3-4) His own hands shall bring the food offerings
of the Lord made by fire, the fat with the breast that the breast
may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.
31 (Lev 3:5; 3:11) The priest shall burn the fat on the altar,
but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.
32 (Lev 7:34; 9:21) The right thigh you shall give to the priest
for a contribution offering for the sacrifice of your peace offerings.
33 The one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood
of the peace offerings and the fat shall have
the right thigh for his portion.
34 (Nu 18:18–19; Lev 10:14–15) For the breast that is waved
and the thigh that is contributed I have taken from the children of Israel,
from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to
Aaron the priest and to his sons as a perpetual portion
from the children of Israel.
35 This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his sons,
from the food offerings of the Lord made by fire,
in the day when Moses presented them to minister as priests before the Lord,
36 (Lev 8:12; 8:30) which the Lord commanded that they be given this,
in the day that he anointed them, from the children of Israel
as a perpetual portion throughout their generations.
37 (Ex 29:1) This is the law of the burnt offering,
of the grain offering, and of the sin offering,
and of the guilt offering,
and of the ordinations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings,
38 (Lev 1:1–2) which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai,
in the day that He commanded the children of Israel to offer
their offerings to the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai.

entitled Sending Out an SOS
Psalm 34:1–10
PSALMS 34
A Psalm of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelek,
who drove him away, and he departed.
1 I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise will continually be in my mouth.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) My soul will make its boast in the Lord;
the humble will hear of it and be glad.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt His name together.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) I sought the Lord, and He answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) They looked to Him and became radiant,
and their faces are not ashamed.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) This poor man cried, and the Lord heard,
and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) The angel of the Lord camps around those who fear Him,
and delivers them.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints;
for the ones who fear Him will not be in need.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) The young lions are in want and suffer hunger,
but the ones who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.
When the hut of a settler in a mountainous region of Alaska caught fire,
the settler was left without adequate shelter and with few provisions
in the coldest state in the US—in the middle of a frigid winter.
Three weeks later, the man was finally rescued when an aircraft flew over
and spied the large SOS he had stamped out in the snow and darkened with soot.
The psalmist David was certainly in dire straits.
He was being pursued by jealous King Saul who sought to kill him.
And so he fled to the city of Gath, where he pretended to be insane
in order to preserve his life (see 1 Samuel 21). Out of those events
emerged Psalm 34, where David cried out in prayer to God and found
peace (vv. 4, 6). God heard his pleas and delivered him.
Are you in a desperate situation and crying out for help?
Be assured that God still hears and responds to our desperate prayers today.
As with David, He's attentive to our distress calls
nd takes away our fears (v. 4)- and sometimes even saves us
"out of [our] troubles" (v. 6).
Scripture invites us to
"cast [our] cares on the Lord and he will sustain [us]" (Psalm 55:22).
When we turn our difficult circumstances over to God,
we can trust that He'll provide the help we need.
We're secure in His capable hands.
By: Alyson Kieda
Reflect & Pray
When have you felt peace after crying out to God?
When has He rescued you from a desperate situation?
Loving Father, thank You for hearing my prayers and bringing comfort,
peace—whatever I need most.
And thank You especially for rescuing me from my sin.
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 1 - Sin Universal
Romans 3:23-24
23 (Ro 3:9) For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,
24 (Ro 4:16; Col 1:14) being justified freely by His grace
through the redemption that is in Christ ÂJesus,
A distinguished middle-aged man stood trembling before his church
to give his testimony. Years before, in the grip of a mental illness
that nearly destroyed his life, he had taken the life of his own daughter
and tried to kill himself. But he did not die; tried and convicted, he
spent years in prison, and even longer in the prison of his own guilt.
After the service, a young woman walked up to him and simply said,
"Thank you for sharing. I've sinned, too."
We've all sinned, too - lest we forget or rationalise, the Bible reminds
us in no uncertain terms. And the writer of these verses was no stranger
to sin: he was the Pharisee, the holier-than-thou religious leader
who officiated at the stoning death of Stephen. He was the Jew who had
scattered and killed the followers of this heretic claaed Christ. He
thought he was righteous while he murdered God's people.
Christians tends to establish a "hierarchy" of sin - sexual sin is "worse"
than pride: murder is "more horrible" than slander. Yet the Bible gives
no indication that god acknowledges our hierarchy. Sin is sin; all have
sinned, and if we are guilty at one point, we are guilty of all.
Rather than rationise our individual sins as being "less bad"
than someone else's, we need to openly confess our dilemma as sinners
and turn to God for his remedy. We cannot and do not need to earn or
deserve that grace - it is a gift from God.
Application
a) Have I ever compared my sin with someone else's in order
to make myself fell like a better person? Why is such
comparison not a valid remedy for sin?
b) Why do I need to acknowledge my sin honestly before I can
receive justification?
c) How can these verses help me keep my own sin in perspective -
that is, keep me from comparing myself to others,
and help me be honest with God?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Deut 28:1-2
Blessings for Obedience
1 (Ex 15:26; Lev 26:3–13) Now it will be, if you will diligently
obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all
His commandments which I am commanding you today,
then the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
2 (Zec 1:6; Dt 28:15) And all these blessings will come on you and overtake
you if you listen to the voice of the Lord your God.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Freeing Forgiveness
Micah 7:18-20
18 (Isa 43:25; Jer 32:41) Who is a God like You,
bearing iniquity and passing over transgression
for the remnant of His inheritance?
He does not remain angry forever,
because He delights in benevolence.
19 (Isa 38:17; Jer 50:20) He will again have compassion upon us.
He will tread down our iniquities,
and cast all of our sins into the depths of the sea.
20 You will give faithfulness to Jacob
and benevolence to Abraham,
which You swore to our fathers
from the days of old.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as hihg as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the legrest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in JEsus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discpleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congreations, and euqally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

Lev 5 - 7
LEVITICUS 5
The Guilt Offering
1 (Lev 5:17; Pr 29:24; Lev 7:18 )When a person sins in hearing the spoken
oath, and he is a witness, whether he saw or knew about the incident,
if he does not report it, he bears guilt.
2 (Lev 5:17; Dt 14:8) Or when a person touches any ceremonially unclean
thing, whether it is a carcass of unclean wildlife, or a carcass of
an unclean domesticated animal, or the carcass of an unclean crawling thing,
and he did not realize it, then he has become unclean and guilty.
3 (Lev 12:1–8; 15:1–33) Or when he touches human uncleanness,
any uncleanness by which he may become ceremonially unclean,
and he did not realize it, when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty.
4 (Jdg 11:31; 1Sa 25:22) Or when a person swears by speaking rashly
with his lips to do evil or to do good, anything that a man may speak
rashly by oath, and he did not realize it, but when he realizes it,
then he has become guilty of any of these things.
5 (Nu 5:7; Lev 16:21; 26:40) When he becomes guilty of one of these things,
he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing.
6 (Lev 4:28; 4:32) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord
for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or goat,
for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement
for him concerning his sin.
7 (Lev 12:8; 14:21-22) If he cannot afford an animal, then he shall
bring for his guilt offering, on account of the sin that he committed,
two turtledoves or two pigeons to the Lord, one for a sin offering
and one for a burnt offering.
8 (Lev 1:15; 1:17) He shall bring them to the priest who shall offer
the one for the sin offering first. He will wring off its head at
its neck, but he shall not sever it.
9 (Lev 4:7; 4:18) Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin
offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be
poured out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.
10 (Lev 1:14–17; 4:26; 4:20) But the second he shall treat as a burnt
offering according to the regulation. The priest shall make atonement
for him for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.
11 (Nu 5:15; Lev 2:1–2) But if he cannot afford to bring two turtledoves
or two pigeons, he shall bring for his offering for the sin that
he committed one-tenth of an ephah
(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)
of wheat flour for a sin offering. He shall not place olive oil on it,
nor shall he put frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.
12 (Lev 2:9; 2:2) Then he shall bring it to the priest,
and the priest shall scoop out a handful from it as a memorial portion
and burn it on the altar as a food offering to the Lord made by fire.
It is a sin offering.
13 (Lev 2:3; 4:26) The priest shall make atonement for him concerning
his sin that he committed from any of these offenses, and he shall be
forgiven. The remainder will belong to the priest, like the grain offering.
Offerings With Restitution
14 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
15 (Ex 30:13; Lev 4:2) When a person acts unfaithfully and sins
unintentionally in regard to the holy things of the Lord,
then for his restitution offering to the Lord he shall bring a ram
without blemish from the flock—or its equivalent, in your estimation,
in silver shekels (using the sanctuary shekel
(About 2/5 ounce, or 12 grams.))
-for a guilt offering.
16 (Lev 22:14; Nu 5:7) And he shall repay the sin that he committed
with regard to the holy thing and shall add a fifth to it and give
it to the priest. The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram
of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.
17 (Lev 4:13; 4:27) If a person sins unintentionally
and does any one of the things that by commandments
of the Lord should not be done and he is found guilty,
he shall bear his iniquity.
18 (Lev 5:15-16) He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish
from the flock—or its equivalent value
(This is a shorthand version of the full formula found in Lev 5:15.)
-for a guilt offering. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning
his error that he made unintentionally, and he shall be forgiven.
19 It is a guilt offering: He has indeed incurred guilt before the Lord.
LEVITICUS 6
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 (Ex 22:7–10; Lev 19:11) When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against
the Lord by lying to another concerning something left in storage,
or entrusted to him, or theft, or by extorting his neighbor,
3 (Ex 23:4; Lev 19:12) or by finding a lost item and lying about it,
and he swears falsely concerning one of all the things that a man
may do to sin in these things,
4 when he sins and he is found guilty, he shall return whatever he stole,
or whatever he extorted, or whatever was left in storage with him,
or the lost item which he found,
5 (Lev 5:16; Nu 5:7-8) or about which he swore falsely, then he shall
repay it in full and shall add one-fifth to it. He shall give it to
whom it belongs on the day that he is found guilty.
6 (Lev 5:15; 5:18) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord,
a ram without blemish from the flock -
(or its equivalent value (Shorthand version of the
full formula found in Lev 5:15.))
—for a guilt offering to the priest.
7 (Lev 4:26) And the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and
he shall be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.
The Law of the Burnt Offering

9 (Nu 28:3; Ex 29:38-42) Command Aaron and his sons, saying:
This is the law for the burnt offering.

until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.
10 (Ex 28:39-43; Lev 16:4) The priest shall put on his linen robe,
and his linen undergarments on his body.
Then he shall remove the ashes from the fire
of the burnt offering on the altar,
and he shall put them beside the altar.

and put on other garments, and he shall bring the ashes outside
the camp to a clean place.
12 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. It shall not go out.
The priest shall feed it with wood every morning. He will arrange

the peace offerings on it.
13 A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar.
It shall never go out.
The Law of the Grain Offering
14 (Nu 15:4) This is the law of the grain offering. The sons of Aaron
shall offer it before the Lord on the altar.
15 (Lev 2:2; 2:9) He shall take from it a handful of the flour
of the grain offering, and of the oil and all the frankincense
which is on the grain offering, and shall burn it on the altar

it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place.
They shall eat it in the court of the tent of meeting.
17 (Lev 2:11; 6:25) It shall not be baked with leaven.
I have given it to them for their portion of My food offerings made by fire.
It is most holy, as is the sin offering and as is the guilt offering.

eat of it. It shall be a perpetual statute in your generations concerning
the food offerings of the Lord made by fire.
Everyone who touches them shall become holy.
19 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
20 (Ex 16:36; 29:2) This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons which
they shall offer to the Lord in the day when he is anointed:
a tenth part of an ephah
(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)
of wheat flour for a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning
and half at night.
21 (Lev 2:5; 7:9) It shall be made on a griddle with olive oil.
When it is well mixed, you shall bring it; and the baked pieces
of the grain offering you shall offer as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

him shall offer it. It is a perpetual statute to the Lord.
It shall be completely burned up.

It shall not be eaten.
The Law of the Sin Offering
24 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
25 (Lev 4:24; 1:11; 1:3) Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying:
This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt
offering is killed shall the sin offering also be killed
before the Lord. It is most holy.

It is most holy.

It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.

The Law of Peace Offerings

that a person shall offer to the Lord.
12 (Lev 2:4; Nu 6:15) If he gives it as a thanksgiving offering,
then he shall offer with the thanksgiving sacrifice unleavened cakes
mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers smeared with oil,

he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
16 (Lev 19:5–8; Dt 12:6) But if the sacrifice of his offering
is a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day
that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day
also the remainder of it can be eaten.
17 (Ex 12:10) But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice
on the third day shall be burned up with fire.
18 (Lev 19:7–8; 11:41) If any of the flesh of the sacrifice
of his peace offerings is eaten at all on the third day,
the one eating shall not be accepted,
nor shall it be imputed to him who offers it.
It shall be contaminated,
and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.
19 The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten.
It shall be burned up with fire. And as for the other flesh,
all who are ritually clean can eat of it.
20 But the person who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings
that belong to the Lord, and who has any uncleanness on him,
that individual shall be cut off from his people.
21 (Lev 5:2–3; 11:10–13) Moreover the person who shall touch any unclean
thing, whether the uncleanness of man or any unclean beast or any
detestable unclean creature, and then eats of the flesh
of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lord,
that individual shall be cut off from his people.
Eating Fat and Blood Forbidden
22 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23 (Lev 3:16–17) Speak to the children of Israel, saying:
You shall not eat any fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.
24 (Ex 22:31; Lev 17:15) The fat of an animal that dies
of itself and the fat of that which is torn by beasts
may be used in any other way, but you shall certainly not eat of it.
25 For whoever eats the fat of an animal that is a food offering made
by fire to the Lord, that individual shall be cut off from his people.
26 (Ge 9:4; Lev 3:17) Moreover you shall not eat any manner of blood,
whether from a fowl or animal, in any of your dwellings.
27 Whoever eats any manner of blood, that individual
shall be cut off from his people.
The Priests' Share
28 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
29 Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He who offers the sacrifice
of his peace offerings to the Lord shall bring his sacrifice to the Lord
from his peace offerings.
30 (Nu 6:20; Lev 3:3-4) His own hands shall bring the food offerings
of the Lord made by fire, the fat with the breast that the breast
may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.
31 (Lev 3:5; 3:11) The priest shall burn the fat on the altar,
but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.
32 (Lev 7:34; 9:21) The right thigh you shall give to the priest
for a contribution offering for the sacrifice of your peace offerings.
33 The one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood
of the peace offerings and the fat shall have
the right thigh for his portion.
34 (Nu 18:18–19; Lev 10:14–15) For the breast that is waved
and the thigh that is contributed I have taken from the children of Israel,
from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to
Aaron the priest and to his sons as a perpetual portion
from the children of Israel.
35 This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his sons,
from the food offerings of the Lord made by fire,
in the day when Moses presented them to minister as priests before the Lord,
36 (Lev 8:12; 8:30) which the Lord commanded that they be given this,
in the day that he anointed them, from the children of Israel
as a perpetual portion throughout their generations.
37 (Ex 29:1) This is the law of the burnt offering,
of the grain offering, and of the sin offering,
and of the guilt offering,
and of the ordinations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings,
38 (Lev 1:1–2) which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai,
in the day that He commanded the children of Israel to offer
their offerings to the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai.

entitled Sending Out an SOS
Psalm 34:1–10
PSALMS 34
A Psalm of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelek,
who drove him away, and he departed.
1 I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise will continually be in my mouth.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) My soul will make its boast in the Lord;
the humble will hear of it and be glad.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt His name together.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) I sought the Lord, and He answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) They looked to Him and became radiant,
and their faces are not ashamed.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) This poor man cried, and the Lord heard,
and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) The angel of the Lord camps around those who fear Him,
and delivers them.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints;
for the ones who fear Him will not be in need.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) The young lions are in want and suffer hunger,
but the ones who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.
When the hut of a settler in a mountainous region of Alaska caught fire,
the settler was left without adequate shelter and with few provisions
in the coldest state in the US—in the middle of a frigid winter.
Three weeks later, the man was finally rescued when an aircraft flew over
and spied the large SOS he had stamped out in the snow and darkened with soot.
The psalmist David was certainly in dire straits.
He was being pursued by jealous King Saul who sought to kill him.
And so he fled to the city of Gath, where he pretended to be insane
in order to preserve his life (see 1 Samuel 21). Out of those events
emerged Psalm 34, where David cried out in prayer to God and found
peace (vv. 4, 6). God heard his pleas and delivered him.
Are you in a desperate situation and crying out for help?
Be assured that God still hears and responds to our desperate prayers today.
As with David, He's attentive to our distress calls
nd takes away our fears (v. 4)- and sometimes even saves us
"out of [our] troubles" (v. 6).
Scripture invites us to
"cast [our] cares on the Lord and he will sustain [us]" (Psalm 55:22).
When we turn our difficult circumstances over to God,
we can trust that He'll provide the help we need.
We're secure in His capable hands.
By: Alyson Kieda
Reflect & Pray
When have you felt peace after crying out to God?
When has He rescued you from a desperate situation?
Loving Father, thank You for hearing my prayers and bringing comfort,
peace—whatever I need most.
And thank You especially for rescuing me from my sin.
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 1 - Sin Universal
Romans 3:23-24
23 (Ro 3:9) For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,
24 (Ro 4:16; Col 1:14) being justified freely by His grace
through the redemption that is in Christ ÂJesus,
A distinguished middle-aged man stood trembling before his church
to give his testimony. Years before, in the grip of a mental illness
that nearly destroyed his life, he had taken the life of his own daughter
and tried to kill himself. But he did not die; tried and convicted, he
spent years in prison, and even longer in the prison of his own guilt.
After the service, a young woman walked up to him and simply said,
"Thank you for sharing. I've sinned, too."
We've all sinned, too - lest we forget or rationalise, the Bible reminds
us in no uncertain terms. And the writer of these verses was no stranger
to sin: he was the Pharisee, the holier-than-thou religious leader
who officiated at the stoning death of Stephen. He was the Jew who had
scattered and killed the followers of this heretic claaed Christ. He
thought he was righteous while he murdered God's people.
Christians tends to establish a "hierarchy" of sin - sexual sin is "worse"
than pride: murder is "more horrible" than slander. Yet the Bible gives
no indication that god acknowledges our hierarchy. Sin is sin; all have
sinned, and if we are guilty at one point, we are guilty of all.
Rather than rationise our individual sins as being "less bad"
than someone else's, we need to openly confess our dilemma as sinners
and turn to God for his remedy. We cannot and do not need to earn or
deserve that grace - it is a gift from God.
Application
a) Have I ever compared my sin with someone else's in order
to make myself fell like a better person? Why is such
comparison not a valid remedy for sin?
b) Why do I need to acknowledge my sin honestly before I can
receive justification?
c) How can these verses help me keep my own sin in perspective -
that is, keep me from comparing myself to others,
and help me be honest with God?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Deut 28:1-2
Blessings for Obedience
1 (Ex 15:26; Lev 26:3–13) Now it will be, if you will diligently
obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all
His commandments which I am commanding you today,
then the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
2 (Zec 1:6; Dt 28:15) And all these blessings will come on you and overtake
you if you listen to the voice of the Lord your God.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Freeing Forgiveness
Micah 7:18-20
18 (Isa 43:25; Jer 32:41) Who is a God like You,
bearing iniquity and passing over transgression
for the remnant of His inheritance?
He does not remain angry forever,
because He delights in benevolence.
19 (Isa 38:17; Jer 50:20) He will again have compassion upon us.
He will tread down our iniquities,
and cast all of our sins into the depths of the sea.
20 You will give faithfulness to Jacob
and benevolence to Abraham,
which You swore to our fathers
from the days of old.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as hihg as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the legrest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in JEsus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discpleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congreations, and euqally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
